Table-Ready Napoleonic Bavarians - How I Paint Things

The Bavarian Electorate would become the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 when Napoleon abolished the Holy Roman Empire, and Bavarian troops fought in support of French troops throughout his campaigns. As fortunes changed, however, so too did Bavarian alliances, making them an interesting choice for all periods of the Napoleonic wars! READ MORE:

Here's another speed painting method with a bunch of additional historical information about Bavarian participation in the broader conflict from a Dutch wargaming blog: https://amsterdamwar.game.blog/2020/0...

The specific image I've been referencing for uniform details is here: https://tinyurl.com/y4dkbv9x The keen-eyed among you will spot I've elected to paint this chap up as belonging to the Sachsen-Hildburghausen Regiment out of Regensburg, though if you wanted a much easier choice there's always red facings and piping to save time!

Bavarian troops make for an interesting and slightly more ununsual choice to put on the gaming table, and this one goes out to all the viewers that have pointed out the Händlmaier mustard jar in the background of videos over the years. This is one of Perry Miniatures' fine examples, and their range covers everything you'll need to represent the Bavarians on the tabletop.
